I pulled out a tub of ice-cream out of the freezer, opened it, and as I was staring at the golden caramel swirl a question floated into my consciousness: what do I REALLY want?

​
And a moment later the answer appeared too. What I REALLY want is some sweetness in my life.

​
It's been a bit turbulent here for a while. Not only does the world feel and look like a horror movie, but even my own world has been tough. Big waves of change, death in the family, lots of uncertainty. Emotions are big and more than usual amounts of unhealthy foods were present in our home.

​
So, instead of filling up the bowl with ice-cream, I took a spoonful and put the tub back in the freezer. I went to my desk, opened my journal and started writing. This time the writing was very intentional, I didn't just dump whatever happened, instead I looked for sweetness in my life. I knew it was there because it is always there. I know enough about the mind and negativity bios, so I focused. I didn't deny all the darkness and sadness, I was just looking for a more true, balanced view. If even during war people find things to laugh about, so I had no excuses.

​
Simple things came up. My lovely dog licking my face, her playing in the field, never stopping. A glimpse of the beautiful sky, pretty clouds. My little garden. My sweet daughter. The people in my life, my friends and family, I love them all and I am so happy that they are in my life. My clients. They show me again and again beauty that can’t be seen with the naked eye: kindness, generosity, courage, compassion, resilience. So much sweetness.
​
And you. Thank you for being in my world, you make it a beautiful and sweet place to be. No ice-cream can substitute that.

​
I love you just as you are.

​
I really hope that you too give yourself permission to let the sweetness of life into your world. We all forget sometimes.

​
And next time you stare at the tub of sweet delicious dessert, pause for a moment and ask yourself - what do I REALLY want?

With love,

Nataliya
